The cult dolls "Monster High" from "Mattel" have been breaking popularity records for years. The heroines of the cartoon of the same name smile from the store shelves with toothy smiles, flaunt fashionable outfits, and keep the gaze of both fans and opponents on themselves. Vivid images of "Monster" do not leave anyone indifferent! After all, they made a real revolution in the toy world, bringing Gothic notes to it. "Terribly beautiful" - so say the creators. Their unusual images contradict the accepted canons of beauty, but despite this, the popularity of scary beauties is just off scale. One trouble - original dolls are quite expensive. And not every girl can beg such an expensive toy from her parents. But where there is demand, supply quickly appears. Enterprising businessmen do not sleep, and the fake Monster High dolls fill the market, possessing neither the beauty nor the quality that Mattel guarantees to its customers. How not to get confused and find the original among a huge variety of goods?
Distinctive features of Mattel toys
For many years this company has ruled the world of puppet fashion. She creates truly iconic toys. On her own initiative, cartoon stories about characters are also shot. The Brats mods and the Moxie Tender teenage girls, the articulated beauties of the Moxie Tins and the sheer number of Barbie princesses are all Mattel hands. Yes, possessing these toys is prestigious, and they are of interest not only for children, but also for collectors. But the relatively high price is due not only to the sonorous name of the manufacturer - Mattel toys have the highest quality. Safe plastic, neat wig firmware, stylish clothes, a large number of accessories - all this is inherent in Mattel dolls. Anyway - the toys themselves are beautiful, like pictures! Monster High dolls (whose counterfeits are mainly made in China) are made exclusively in Indonesia - this is worth paying attention to first of all. And the rest of Mattel's Indonesian-made toys are of the same high quality.
Learning to distinguish the original from the fake dolls "Monster High"
To begin, take a look at visitors from the Middle Kingdom.
And this is the original.
1. Pay attention to the packaging. The original inscription "Monster High" and the company logo must be mandatory.
2. We look at the state of the doll or set. Original dolls have a hinged body with shoulder, elbow, carpal, femoral, knee joints. Ankle cast. The head is movable, there is a hinge on the neck. Stoop and excessive thinness are integral attributes of the original.
3. The faces of the original dolls are very neat. In addition, each doll is made on an individual mold and looks different from its girlfriends. But the dolls of one "breed" from different series are similar to each other. Detailed eyebrows, nasolabial folds, nostrils, auricles - these are all signs of a real Monster High doll. Fakes are most often cast according to one facial pattern.
4. Hair is made of high-quality Kanekalon, their color matches the color of the cartoon character of the same name.
5. Accessories are made carefully, do not have sharp edges. The whole outfit was also worked out qualitatively: no threads and disheveled edges stick out. But fake dolls "Monster High" can be dressed up in anything.
6. The original doll is made of high-quality plastic, safe for human health. Fake can be both plastic and rubber. The presence of an unpleasant smell of plastic should alert!
